While
the Democrat platform committee, meeting in the festering disaster area
that once was the city of Detroit, officially endorsed homosexual pseudo-marriage,
prominent Dems in southern California were endorsing Sharia law. For those
who don’t know, Shari is Islamic law, like they have in Saudi Arabia
and Iran.

Among
the featured speakers extolling Sharia were Congresswomen Maxine Waters
and Loretta Sanchez, along with the Los Angeles County sheriff and the
deputy chief of the LAPD. Waters and Sanchez, flaming leftists, are among
Congress’ most consistent supporters of any measure that enthrones
sin as virtue.

The
world would be a better place if Maxine Waters were to bundle herself
up in a burqa. But Sharia doesn’t work that way. Under Sharia all
women, not just harridans in Congress, are required to wrap themselves
from head to toe, leaving only a wee slit for the eyes. The penalty for
not covering up is… well, death. Either your father and brothers
will beat you to death at home, or some zealot on the street will throw
acid in your face, or the mullahs will sentence you to death by stoning.

But
according to Democrats, Sharia doesn’t conflict in the slightest
with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It is difficult to imagine
any excuse for saying this.

Never
mind—hand in hand, same-sex “marriage” and Sharia law
will lead America’s parade into the future, however truncated that
future may turn out to be, if Democrats have their way. Country running
out of money? Cities falling into ruin? People getting desperate? Who
cares! We want gay marriage and Sharia!

Now
it might be just a little tricky to keep Sharia and gay rights on the
same page. But they do have a lot in common.

Both
are totalitarian movements, unable to tolerate even the most minimal dissent.
Both demand instant obedience from everyone, or else. The Sharia types
prefer to kill their critics. Organized Sodomy, so far, seems content
to deal with refuseniks by destroying their livelihoods and making them
the objects of universal scorn and hatred—like they tried to do
to Chick-fil-A.

Both
hate the Christian religion and would like to see it erased someday.

Both
will do absolutely anything it takes to get what they want. Both believe
they’re not bound by the rules of common decency when confronting
any kind of opposition. You can readily see why both have found a home
in the Democrat Party.

But
it’ll still be tricky. In countries that actually have Sharia law,
homosexuality is a capital offense. Anyone who thinks it isn’t should
go off to Teheran and stage a “pride” parade. Go on, Human
Rights Campaign—I dare you. Those guys in the turbans will give
you a reception that you won’t forget: not that you’ll live
very long to remember it.

There
will be other bumps in the road. That Democrat business with free abortions
and free contraceptives—Sharia doesn’t allow that. Sharia
does allow free speech, as long as you never, ever say anything bad about
Islam, Allah, Mohammed, the Koran, the mullahs running the show, any Muslim
leaders past or present, anything said or done by any Muslim throughout
history… If you do, they kill you. That’s a bit more final
than being accused of homophobia.

We wonder
how the Sharia crowd will take to be harangued by Democrat women like
Waters and Sanchez, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, Elizabeth Warren,
and Sheila Jackson Lee; and that’s not even to mention Barney Frank.
Then again, how will homosexual activists feel about supporting a law
system that would allow any of them to be condemned to death on the uncorroborated
testimony of a single policeman?

Gee,
that sounds like something the folks at Homeland Security could really
get into! And if you think the TSA screeners are bad news now, wait’ll
you see how they operate according to Sharia. “Now we check under
your burqa for naughty items. Well, we did not find any. But you have
exposed yourself to a man, you shameless woman! So we have to kill you.”

It all
sounds like a satire. It can’t be true. No political party could
be so schizophrenic.

But
it is true, and it is the Democrats, and they have embraced the darkness
of this world and serve their master, Satan. Only he could think of hitching
sodomy and Sharia to the same chariot.
